The Whitewashing of Neo-Nazis: Lev Golinkin & Ben Makuch on How Far Right Is Exploiting Ukraine War
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Multiple reports are reinvestigating the neo-Nazi fighters and militias involved in the war both in Russia and Ukraine. "You have neo-Nazis on both sides of this conflict," says Ukrainian American journalist Lev Golinkin, a longtime reporter on the far right in Ukraine and Russia who is critical of the Western media's normalization of groups like the Azov Battalion. "We are sending a very dangerous message that if you're the right type of neo-Nazis, we will not only work with you, we will celebrate you," Golinkin notes.
We also speak with national security reporter Ben Makuch, whose investigations reveal the networks connecting Ukrainian and Russian militias and American neo-Nazis. An anti-Putin Russian militia that carried out attacks inside Russia in May was led by a neo-Nazi who has maintained links with American neo-Nazis. In a new piece, Makuch also shares the story of an American military veteran wanted for murder who is now fighting for ultranationalist groups in Ukraine. "We know there has been secretive pipelines and networks," says Makuch. "That still exists."

"Nazis in Stanford" should have been bigger news!
Not with Michael McFaul practically running Stanford.
I'm getting some Stanford T shirts and stuff and I'm gonna wear them on the streets of SF and Palo Alto. Screw McFaul.
Crazy thing nobody wants to see... "US" or the whole "America" thingy from the git go has been a Yiddish invasion. The "WHITE HOUSE" is and has been "NAZIS" since 1774... Officially anyhow. I mean the Hand of Death Cult aka the Order of the Eastern Star created the Pentagon.... The OTO has origins in Imperial Jah Pan... The Empire State.... What is an IMP? As in IMP POSTER. PAN is the PASTORAL GREEK GOD aka MOSES. JAH is Jehovah or Yeshiva / Joshua / Judea / Utah. Those roots are traced to KEMET EGYPT and the MOOR MEN. When you think about it... The German NAZI's were said to be red laced "BOOT STOMPERS"... The term "KIKE" derived from "KICK"... As in KICKERS... Red is from the German "Roth". Also Wraith. It's PHONETICS. I was a US Army Signal Technician for many moons in a past persona, before the spirit came over I. Dang alley gay terds and them teeth... REVELATION 9:8 KJV. Gay is GA as in the Free Mason's Square is the "A" and the "G" is the "J-HOOK" and upside down it's the Gallows where Jesus is hanging out on trial in the bottomless pit of Amalek aka Abaddon aka Apollo. King Georgia and those Caucuses Mountains. How can any American be Caucasian? I have never been there, so why would "white americans" claim such roots?
Nazis run nearly every major university in the United States of America.
OTTAWA too
There's nothing unusual about America supporting Nazis and Fascists, it has been a consistent element of US foreign policy throughout the Cold War.
because usa is hijacked by marxists .. they are behind all these wars
U are a smart person
yep look no further than NATO's CIA entrenched Operation Gladio, Western Europe's stay-behind secret war against socialism
Correct they trained, and used Nazi's, Fascists etc, to fight communism. Same reason why the Vatican was helping war criminals escape after ww2.
No suprise this still happens at the current day and age.
@@lyndonfair9850he’s right
Better late than never. Folks have been talking about this for quite a while. We were all called Putin apologists.
Sounds like something a Putin apologist would say. Or wait, let me not assume.... are you saying Putin was right in invading Ukraine and that we should not support Ukraine?
@@hypnokitten6450my goodness. We can critique capitalism without being a Marxist and we can critique communism without being a Nazi. You can critique the Democrat party without being a Republican. I have personally seen the effects of Ukraine waging war against its Russian speakers. I was telling people about the neo nazis. Critiquing our own leaders for funding neo nazis. For god sakes the supermart racist shooter had SLAVA UKRAINi!!!!!!! On it before russia even invaded. In what world do I have to literally make the same fricken arguments since 6 years ago and now all of the sudden I’m a Putin apologist?
@@hypnokitten6450clearly you were unaware of the war in Europe that was real. The bombs and guns being used back 8 or so years ago. So if you knew and didn’t speak out against our support of neo nazis then and a genocidal government. Shame on you. But if you didn’t know, then you are still ignorant.
That's because you are.
@@comradecracker447 no you have not- because Kharkhiv a metropolis with 1.5 Million inhabitants where over 85% of speakers can speak russian and do so in their day to day lives did not face any opression. Youre making up a false narrative propaganded by putin media. Apparently poor Russian speakers in Donbass were persecuted but the biggest Russian speaking city continued on without any issues?:D To this day a huge chunk of Ukrianian soldiers, commanders speak russian as a first language and speak rudimentary Ukrainian.
Russia invaded in 2014. 2022 was just a full scale invasion. The invasion itself began in 2014 Right after Ukrainians kicked out a pro russian president and canceled the lease on the Sevastopol naval base.
There was no "opression of russians". igor Strelkov (codename Girkin and Runov) who is responsible for the crimean takover as an ex fsb functionaire openly talks about it in his podcasts/talkshows and telegram that it was him who captured military bases and bureacratic buildings in Crimea. The russian "opression" was just a ruse to capture land in an imperialist effort. Dont forget even conservative estimates point to around 100 K dead soldiers (with wagner mercenaries) that are Russians or Rossiyan. 100 thousand dead russians for a war effort of one single party and Siloviki power structure.
Especially since most of the Ukrainian refugees I meet in GERMANY right now speak russian and barely ukrainian. And wanna know who they blame? yes exactly they blame Russia and Putin for destroying their eastern Ukrainian homes. Their parents still speak Russian without an issue. you can go to Kiev and speak russian without an issue as long as youre not a Russian citizen for obvious reasons. Some of the kids have Fathers fighting for Ukraine. some of them lost their whole family (yes some kids are unaccompanied refugees whose parents died in rocket strikes)
Guess what I do? I teach Ukrainian refugees because I am an ethnic russian born to Russian parents. Not a single kid or parent I met are from Western Ukraine. All of them are Russian speakers many of them with Russian family names from Eastern Ukraine that Russia carpet bombs, strikes with artillery and the areas they hold on they mined full on.
So you can shut yer trap about your lies before a Russian has to curse you in russian for your obvious pro -putinist narratives.
If they're CIA approved, they're not neo Nazi, they're freedom fighters 😂
the german antifa are for this hitlerlovers in ukraine.

It's amazing what passes for journalism these days. What happened to " stay on topic " ? Oh, Lev- your CIA agenda is showing.
Above North Korea is US levels of propaganda, which far surpasses anything else in the world, by a long shot.

For Ukrainians he's a means to an end (sovereignty against russia) - I GUARANTEE you that any country would accept the help of neo-nazi brigades if in Ukraine's position.
He's a symbol of Ukrainian nationalism and against Communists and Polish occupation at the time.
Its wrong to say that ipso facto that makes Ukrainian society or even a part of their society, right-wing or neo-Nazi because its obviously not true.
Far right part received less than 0.5% of the last parliamentary vote and have ZERO seats in parliament!
Which is far far less than far right in UK, Germany, France, Sweden, etc etc
This full throated calling out of Nazis in Ukraine should have happened on here a long time ago. What took you so long?
It was, that’s how you found out, remember? 😂
Yo, it’s like when the big game’s about to end, and the „refs“ suddenly start calling fouls. They’re just trying to save face, you know? But we’ve been hip to it from the jump.
Now Nazis in Ukranie are losing badly..
it was called out a long time ago? But its only a small percent of the population (just like in the EU and US), they're not doing 'nazi things' as part of the war, they're willing to fight alongside the unicorn battalion and under the command of a Jewish president, and the incoming threat is too great for infighting. Basically Ukraine has a boat, and there are some really bad people on the boat. And the boat catches fire, and a bucket brigade forms, including some of those bad people, 'cause they'll burn up right alongside everyone else if they don't. And when the fire started everyone looked (yes, you'll find plenty of articles on this) and said 'hey... those people are bad'. And then everyone gained some sanity and said 'buuuuut... maybe Now is not the moment for that and, as long as they don't do bad stuff, we can deal with that when the boat is Not on fire. Doesn't mean we'll tolerate them doing bad things, they'll have to fall in line, and they are falling in line. But lets focus on the fire'.
What I'm more curious about, timing wise, is why this story (that was very well covered at the start of the war, when Putin tried to change the story about the invasion to be 'oh, we're there to fight nazi') surfaced up right now. At the start of Ukraine's offensive, while Putin's top ranks are being decimated and military is in confusion, while Crimea is being cut off for a potential liberation, and while Russia is targeting grain ships and ports that are shipping food to starving nations. Almost like a sudden distraction?
@@hypnokitten6450 Done justifying our tax money being spent on swastika adorned vikings against our will?
It's funny how the BBC make a documentary about it, then quietly forget about it.
Same happened here in Germany.. After the Maidan thing German (state) media regularly reported about the Nazi situation in Ukraine.. There were many debates in TV...
Nowadays this topic isn't brought up very much.. almost no mentions about this.
ah yes because one singular battalion that was only known for holding these beliefs in 2014 is somehow representative of the entire ukrainian army currently, gotcha.
@@ChristopherGray00 Azov, Right Sector, Division Galizia, C13, Ajdar ... enough or you need some more of your favourite NAZI Miitias ...
Did they also make a documentary about Russian right-wingers......
@@ChristopherGray00 that is correct. The government and its politicians supported the ideology. Even their ambassador to germany is a fervent bændera supporter/worshipper (BILD). The summer brainwashing camp for teenagers has been held since 2014 (the guardian), and the banning of anything they consider lesser than themselves such as language and culture. The one who launched the coup are the far right group, so the government policies reflected that. So it's definitely not just a "singular battalion"; it is systemic.
The media, even western ones reported on this since 2014, no need to downplay it.
“Ukraine is the world’s only nation to have a neo-Nazi formation in its armed forces,” a correspondent for the US-based magazine, the Nation, wrote in 2019.
-In January 2018, Azov rolled out its street patrol unit called National Druzhyna to “restore” order in the capital, Kyiv. Instead, the unit carried out pogroms against the Roma community and attacked members of the LGBTQ community
Hey dip shit Nationa Corps (Nazionalna Druzhina) was created by one of the former leaders of the Azov battalion AFTER he was kicked out due to his extreme ideology (along with anyone else displaying extreme ideology) during the 2015 purge and integration into the national guard of the volunteer battalions.
National Corps has under 15,000 members and not electoral representation (except for one local council seat).
Stop consuming ruSSian propaganda.
What about the Wagner Group in Russia its filled with Nazi and career criminals. They posion gas attacked civilians in Syria as well as attacked US troops. Not to mention they committed thousands of war crimes in Ukraine. They second in command at Wagner who Putin murdered was also a Neo Nazi.
Russian speakers were also killed, as in Odessa on May 2

@@AnashadkGoddamn right.
The main thing not said is that in Russia there are less than a fraction of one percent of Nazis. Nobody cultivates their views; they are illegal. While in Ukraine most of society is sick with neo-Nazism. They are supported in every possible way at the state level. Who in the West knows about several thousand Ukrainian nationalists who took part in the war in the Chechen Republic on the side of international terrorism from different countries? There is no doubt that the handlers of these militants were the CIA and MI6. Who in the West knows about Amir ibn al-Khattab, and he was on the same side with Islamist terrorists and Ukrainian nationalists against Russians and Chechens who did not want the spread of Wahhabism and radical groups controlled by the intelligence services of the United States and England.

American military and CIA are Nazis. US is a Nazi country. US inspired Nazism by the US extermination campaigns of the natives in the 19th century and the eugenicist movement in 20th century. US foreign policy is Nazi inspired. It echoes the doctrine of Nazi expansion towards Russia and as well the colonial doctrine inspired by Western Europe towards the non-Western world
This conversation has been happening since the invasion started. I am amazed that the mainstream media took this long to work it out.
To work out twhat? There are no nationalist parties in the Ukrainian parliament for 9 years in a row. Nationalists are in the army only because Ukraine is attacked by Russia.

So, what are those really awesome, unbiased news channels that you watch? Fox? MSNBC? ABC? CBS? BBC? RT & PRAVDA? The Chinese Central News TV? Newsmax? Hindustan Times? the Saudi or Bahrain or Qatari news? Iran's news? North Korea's news?
The fact of the matter is, there is ZERO news out there that's created to be tall fair, unbiased, and totally benevolent in every way. News are, by nature, the VIEWS and INTERESTS of those who have the resources or connection to get them across. You simply have to cross check and watch enough of them to get some decent & larger picture of what's going on in any country, region, or the entire world.
The real question is, WHY or HOW are you guys surprised there are NEO NAZIS from the US, to Germany, to France, to Britain, to Poland, to Italy, to the Netherlands, to Ukraine, to Russia, etc?
Nazis and Neo Nazis haven't been shy of their beliefs and conducts; they worship and display thoughts, works, pictures, regalia, flags, symbols of Hitler, the Nazis, the SS, and other such things clearly.
There are Asians into Nazism/Neo Nazism; there are Blacks, Latinos, Muslims, women, Jews into Nazi and Nazism. "But we are not like those Nazis in Germany. We are better and real! We are only fighting for persecuted people, especially White Christians Conservatives who are true nationalists. Anyone could join. In fact we have Blacks, Asians, Latinos, homosexuals, women, all kinds... because they're also into MERITOCRACY. We just hate the privilege given to MINORITIES who don't deserve the wealth, position, and such in society..."
These are, in short, idiots. Why or how are you surprised there are dangerous, violent idiots in every country?
Why DEMOCRACY NOW or ABC or MNSBC or the NY Times or the Post or the BCC, etc. supposed to let you know immediately, fairy, and fully every time something is off in the world?
That is YOUR responsibility; you should only use news channels, papers, books, documentary, etc. to SUPPLEMENT your own research, studies and/or understanding of world affairs, of ideologies, and of individuals and groups...

But there was always a second person to "balance" the issue ( a more mainstream viewpoint ; good/bad people on both sides' mentality ).

Not long ago, I saw a post of a politician (Sevim Dagdelen, party: "Die Linke"), which drew attention to the fact that pictures of Leopart-2 tanks with Stepan Bandera flags on them were published by a Ukrainian site. I generally oppose the supply of weapons (there are certainly different views and opinions on this), but when I saw this. I guess the best way to describe my feelings is cognitive dissonance.
Out of personal interest, I have been privately involved with the world and its conflicts for some time.
Because I live in Germany myself and I hear many of our politicians, what and how they argue in terms of domestic and foreign policy, their behavior makes me very afraid of even further escalation. Especially Germany, which otherwise always bicks on its own history....
I am therefore at a loss as to what to do or what "the right thing to do" is, but I think we are on the wrong track.
Best regards from Germany!
Thanks for sharing. Germany needs to follow Hungary's lead.
Yup as someone from Lorraine I've been antsy for a while too. Bottom line, I believe we the people are ok but our leadership is concerning these days
Follow Hungary‘s lead? You must be joking. Orban with his antidemocratic, authoritarian right leaning policies is the paria in the EU.
Russia literally says that germany is a nazi state for helping Ukraine and that we opress Russians on their TV. I am a russian and face no opression and persecution. Im a spätaussielder in full solidarity with Ukraine until they liberate every piece of their soil according to the 1991 borders that were ratified. Any other position is non negotiable.
And by the way Bandera lived in WestGermany in Munich after the war 1945. We gave him political asylum. While OUN-B was commiting warcrimes bandera wasnt even in the leadership position he was incarcerated in a concentration camp. Our german hosptials routinely were used to treat dictators and right wing politicians including russian right wing politicians that went to Munich and co for healthcare. So some Ukrianian working class solider being dumb enough to Put out a flag is inconsequential. Whats consequential is the constant shelling, rocket striking, deportation of children from Ukraine commited by the RF.
@@robertrichard6107
To agree with this in concrete terms, I have so far been too little involved with Voctor Orban's policies and demands. In addition, governments with, as I have already noticed, a critical attitude to the questions of how to deal with refugees, or when it comes to Ukraine, are presented - framed - as "fundamentally politically right-wing". If people then share here even partially their opinions on certain topics, these citizens are also considered right-wing.
Thus, it is even difficult to discuss reasonably and objectively about the theses and proposals of such politicians.
I think my perceived cognitive dissonance becomes even clearer here...
Isn't fascism alive and well in America? What about current Israel?

As for America being behind all the problems in the world, don't know about that, but one thing is for sure, as for the Jews and Neo Nazis, Neo Nazis who adore Hitler should understand that this isn't the 1940s anymore, no matter how big tough and bad you are, there isn't going to be anymore death marches. Israel will see to that for their own. And as for reporting these Neo Nazi militias, yes, the media should report that there are a bunch of guys with nothing else to do, out there that are getting themselves involved in foolishness.

It is not about nazi. It is about the invasion of a country, Ukraine,who didn't want this war..
That's an excuse that makes things go in circles.
E.g. The war started 10 years ago in 2014. Pro-EU protesters in Kiev overthrew the government by violent means. In response protests in Odessa, Kherson, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, etc overthrew their local governments and demanded referendums to secede. They didnt want a war either, but were given an ultimatum by the Ukrainian goverment..the speratists chose not to, so the Ukrainian gov decided to use military force, which kicked off a civil war. Then Russia gave ultimatums to end the civil war, Ukraine chose not to, so Russia interviewed.
2022 was the inevitable escalation of an 8 year old war. Now Russia is the most sanctioned country in the world, stuck in a quagmire, losing a lot of lives.
It's a never ending circle of death, that all started when violence broke out at the Maidan Protest, and I'm willing to bet those Neo-Nazis were a key component to help spark that initial violence that is now a semi fullscale war (yes, this is not fullscale yet, and it can get worse, as in WW3 and nuclear winter worse)

No. Your tax money is going to a military that's specked to fight the three largest enemies on earth at the same time, which is US doctrine. Russia was one of those three. Your money went to taking down that country's military, in the middle of its expanding and increasing threat (as it tried to re-establish the USSR while destabilizing western democracies through cyber attacks and disinformation campaigns), without a single US boot on the ground (Ukrainians are doing the dying for us), and mostly by moving out our old equipment that we were mothballing or replacing anyway.
Or, if you prefer morality over military practicality, your tax money went to defending innocent women and children that were and are being injured, bombed, executed, kidnapped, and r***d by Russian invaders.
Or, if you prefer economic practicality over both, your tax money is going toward supporting one of Europe's breadbowl nations as its being invaded and leveled by Russia, so that its food can continue to feed people in Africa. Which keeps African nations from further destabilizing, which would have a cascading economic and migration effect in the middle of an escalating climate crisis.

"Azov" has the same recruitment base as well.
@@internetcensure5849 No they don’t. Azov is actually riddled with Nazis. It’s not a a-political brigade. Wagner, which is not private anymore btw, has people of many different ethnic backgrounds and political beliefs. Unlike Ukraine, Russian Nazis don’t have the same political power. Ukrainian Nazis, although a minority, have infiltrated the political life, security apparatus and the military. This gives them a lot of power. Even Prigozhin said in a interview with War Gonzo regarding the topic of Nazis in Wagner: “We don’t care about how you jerk off, as long as you get it out your system.”

Denazification was not the only reason for the special military operation. The need to respond to NATO that had supported the coup in 2014 and was attacking ethnic Russians in the east was critical. The need to keep Ukraine out of NATO's hands was key. The death of 14,000 or so Russians by the rightwing was also important. Russia did not have to grasp to find reasons to intervene. The Ukrainian right and its Western supporters gave it many reasons to act.

And every sane adult knows that if you're fighting for your life and your family, and one of those twits is willing to pick up a gun and fight beside you to protect Their family? You don't start shooting at them, and you don't throw up the white flag and go 'oh wait, if this guy's fighting I'm not going to!' or start throwing a tantrum that your war is no longer 'cool'.

No, the point isn't "Ukraine's neo-nazis are good", the point is "Russia is invading Ukraine, which deserves self-determination, and neo-nazis are a tiny minority in Ukraine". Also, making this non-issue into an issue is nothing less than validating Russia's argument. If you want a comparison to actual fascists, then Russia fits the bill far closer. Russia is the biggest country in the world, what the fek do they need territory for? Instead they had to take Donbas and Crimea because of some anti-Russian discrimination (up to claims of genocide) of which Russia never made a peep in the UN, and in doing so mobilize the population of those places to fight against what was once their country. If it was about saving those people, give them citizenship and mitigate your abysmal demographic issues. Instead he throws their lives into the grinder so he can hold a bit more land. Saving people by turning their home into a war zone is the most ridiculous plan I've ever heard of.
Only a handful of casualties in Donbass before Russian soldiers arrived and turned it into a war zone.
At least they admit neo nazis in Wagner.

Meanwhile Russia is playing the victim, crying "NATO wants our resources, NATO wants to break up our land.". Even though NATO has never shown such interest or inclination. As usual it's just Russia fearing from others what they think themselves.
In my country we have a proverb that translates to "As the innkeeper is himself, he trusts his guests.". It is a proverb that has proven itself again and again in this war.
We knew there were nazis in Ukraine as far back as 2014.
I however do not believe there are nazis in Russia. Do people have no idea how many Russians died in WW2 fighting against the nazis. Russia defeated Germany, not the US. The US joined the effort at the end of the war against Germany. The US’s main fight was in China and the Philippines against Japan.

UKRAINE FACTS: SO WHO ARE THE NAZIS? the RUSSIAN PEOPLE COLLECTIVELY THERE ARE NO NAZIS IN UKRAINE AS ALL THE WORLD JEWISH ORGAINSATIONS PROCLAIM.
ONE MILLION RUSSIANS FOUGHT IN NAZI UNIFORM IN WWII... 130,000 AS WAFFEN SS. see RONA, VLASOV, RLA (russian liberation army) Von Pannwitz etc.
Add to that another 2 million russian "HIWIS" "Hilfswillige" = (translates as "willing to help" from German) non-uniformed RUSSIAN auxillaries to the Germans.
TODAY'S RUSSIAN DUMA "parliament" is literally 87% Neo- Nazi Ultra-right Nationalist such as the United Russia Party- Putin's own party. Its former head, Zhirinovsky, was a self-affirming neo-Nazi...one needs only to google the russian parliament's own website to see this in one minute
Putin's GURU- his spiritual advisor is the [neo-] NAZI, ALEXANDER DUGIN who calls for a FINAL SOLUTION to the "Ukrainian Problem" i.e. another FINAL GENOCIDE TO WIPE OUT THE UKRAINIANS ENTIRELY. He actually writes this...Uses Hitler's words...This is all visible in his writings which putin largely plagiarized in his Essay of July 2021 negating the very existence of the Ukrainian people and nation.
So who are the "NAZIS"? NOT UKRAINIANS
IN CONTRAST:
There were a mere 22,000 Ukrainians who fought in German uniform- to free Ukraine. (Galizien Division etc btw almost all annihilated in just one battle- Brody, 1944- thrown as cannon fodder to shelter the German lines.)
France had 22,000, in German uniform, the TINY nations of Estonia, Latvia, Finland, Holland, Denmark had twice that number EACH... not to mention Spain etc.
there are 2440 Righteous among the Nations Ukrainians honored in Jerusalem for saving Jews...but a mere 220 russians....
Ukraine lost 14 million people in WWII 8 million military & 6 million civilian..
ALL THE OTHER 14 SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS ALL TOGETHER LOST THE OTHER 9 MILLION INCLUDING SOME PLACE CALLED, "russia" UKRAINE ALONE LOST 150% OF WHAT THEY LOST ALL TOGETHER.
UKRAINIANS DESTROYED HITLER'S INVASION AND THEY WILL DESTROY PUTLER's too.
No other people on earth did as much to destroy Nazi Germany and therefore to save the Jewish people from the Holocaust as did Ukrainians.
Ukrainians LIBERATED AUSCHWITZ AND ALL THE NAZI CAMPS IN THE EAST. A couple hundred Ukrainians served as camp guards so the russians have spread this SMEAR thickly ALL OVER UKRAINIANS and the entire western media has taken up the chorus:
The SAVIORS OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE are smeared as the murderers of the Jewish people.
Petlyura, who forbade the MOSCOW-ORDERED POGROMS was smeared and murdered under the same defamation. So freedom fighters for Ukraine, Ukrainian leaders- all Nazis! ...ALL UKRAINIANS= "NAZIS"
ONE AND ONE WORD ONLY IS EVER MENTIONED AND RINGS OUT ALL OVER THE WEST IN REGARD TO NAZIS/ NAZI COLLABORATORS: UKRAINE!
Why? because the word "Ukraine" must always be linked to a smear or defamatory word because the very idea of Ukraine is ANATHEMA COLLECTIVELY TO ALL RUSSIANS & must be defamed. This has been going on all over the West since tsarist times, when Ukraine was falsely smeared as anti-Semitic... then, even after UKRAINE PLAYED THE PRIMARY ROLE IN DEFEATING GERMANY as Churchill wrote... the SMEAR WORD OF CHOICE remained & remains "Nazi."
Bandera spent 1941-45 in a Nazi German prison dungeon yet RUSSIANS CALL HIM A NAZI.
All the Western fellow travelers of socialism parroted the words of the Kremlin. When socialism imploded there, this overwhelming 5th column in the West holding the mainstream media, Hollywood etc was disoriented but simply transferred their allegiance to the new rulers of their former Vatican- to russia. So whatever russia said they parrot(ed) and wrote/write in all the media.
At the end of the film, "Schindler's List," Spielberg, whose 4 grandparents were UKRAINIAN, SMEARED Ukraine... No inkling that Ukrainians liberated the Jewish people... instead a boor lazily ambles up to the camp on a mule all alone... and starts spouting anti-semitic epithets and tropes... & "HATE- SPEECH." All according to the Russian narrative/ scenario. It says: Russia defeated Germany, Ukraine had nothing to do in the war except fight together with Nazis and murder Jews...
When under Yeltsin a posthumous Nuremberg Trial for all the Socialist Genociders was planned- it was cancelled... not in the post-socialist CIS countries...
BUT
by all the LEFTIST screams and howls FROM THE WEST to crush that idea. There are still lots of these voices of these snakes, still talking- Mearscheimer, Vladimir Posner, Stephen Cohen, Noam Chomsky, Oliver Stone et al... ALL OF UKRAINIAN ORIGIN yet, all toxic SMEARERS OF UKRAINE to this very day.
As russia bombs Ukraine they smear Ukraine.... When putin takes a big shit, that stinking shit takes on human form and starts talking... pro- russian GENOCIDAL turds pontificating for putin & against Ukraine, speaking lies, Mearsheimer. Posner, Tucker, Tulsi Gabbard, Oliver Stone et al...
The "Nazi" smear is very effective and for progressives is the smear of choice & predilection in the West...
HOWEVER, with the present RUSSIAN RENEWED GENOCIDE in Ukraine, most but not all of the very people who concretized the smearing of Ukraine- distilling everything to do with Ukraine into 2 words: Nazi & Jew-Killer- have experienced a sea-change and are now supporting Ukraine.
Not even the leaders and intelligentsia of Ukraine are informed of the true history of Ukraine... they were still raised on russian narratives...
Their influence within key positions within the govt is more important. That a look at the head of the Ukrainian Intelligence services, Kirill Budanov.
Petlyura, Bandera and the Waffen SS Galitchina are the National Heroes of Ukraine. Why is this not enough? Why are we talking about Azov?

3. There is absolutely no freedom of speech in Russia: you can be jailed simply for standing on the Red Square with an empty piece of paper and they'll call it a "protest against the government". You can also be jailed for criticizing the government on social networks: a post, like or repost that criticizes the authoritarian government - now faces the jail.
@@karlkarl7282 It's NOT! It's just being used for a purpose! Soon to be dumped like all the rest the US uses!
In December 1944, while Greece was already freed from the Nazis by its own resistance, the British invaded to fight the anti fascists who heroically during the Nazi occupation kept most of the country side Nazi-free. They orchestrated, organized, and directed a civil War that brought to power the Nazi collaborators and hunted till elimination all democrats.
The first napalms fell on the Greek mountains in 1949 during the last part of this tragedy.
Greece has been a protectorate ever since.
Very true. Thank you.
"anti fascists" Lol we know what that euphemism stands for.
Marshal Tito was a strong supporter of Greek democrats and communist during the civil war. He had a falling out with Stalin over it. Stalin was wrong for not supporting the Greek.
Noted that you didn't say communist. They called themselves that.
Protectors of democracy😂
@@knoll9812 it would be amazing if Greece was by 70% communist (the percentage of support for EAM). But even if it was, what about Your view on democracy? You napalm them when you don't like their choice?
The idea of "Paroling" prisoners goes back to days when war in Europe was a gentleman's game , and they behaved according to gentleman's rules, under proviso they no longer participate in conflict. If these guys are captured again on the battlefield, it is violation for which death sentence is provided.
The Loyalists have been playing this disgusting little game since 2014. No, they are not snipers or commanders - they are cooks, drivers, male nurses. And my brothers would release them or exchange them- and they'll be back on Donbass terrorizing the non combatants of Lugansk and Gorlovka.
...a dead sentence well deserved!
Thank you Mr. Golinkin for reporting on this! People need to know.
Perhaps now you can look at your own neo nazis. Hypocrites.
😂🤣😂🤣
Talking about promoters of hate ideologies, Amy Goodman has on many occasions made comments or accusations that indicate a latent Ukrainophobe streak in her that was likely adopted from the extreme left milieu she grew up in. So there's little surprise that she keeps inviting reporters who themselves are very biased to report on their very limited and one-sided "investigations" of certain groups or individuals as they are directed to do by their corporate bosses.
Golinkin, for example, takes every biographical fact he comes across and gives it a false, extreme right spin. For example Prokopenko's youth can in no way be subsumed by the description "the Kyiv soccer hooligan milieu." It's true that he belonged to the fans of the Kyiv soccer team Dynamo which was called not "whites boys" but the "white-blues" which are the colors of the Dynamo team (how ignorant can Golinkin get?!). Some Russian propagandist inserted that lie in Wikipedia and lazy Golinkin gobbled that up without any further research. The totenkopf sign is one of the most common symbols among clubs throughout the world and having that symbol does not make them neo-Nazi since that symbol was widely used centuries before the Nazis, as for example by ship pirates. Are all the motorcycle clubs with that symbol fascist? Just because some Russian propagandist said that Azov was a neo-Nazi gang doesn't make them such. If someone calls Golinkin a neo-Bolshevik does that make it so? Did Golinkin observe and meet with members of Azov in 2014 when they started? No, his reliance on prejudiced sources suffices for this cheap hater. Zelensky didn't simply take the 5 Azov commanders out of Turkey, rather Erdogan handed them over to him. Everyone knows this except Golinkin.
What makes Azov and similar groups in Ukraine neo Nazi? Can he find a single word of praise of Hitler or the Nazis anywhere in their literature? No, because there isn't. Do they have the swastika on any banner of even letterhead? No. The symbol they use is a combination of the initials of the words I for idea of the nation (N) arranged in the medieval symbol for catching wolves. Had they wanted to be neo Nazis they would have taken a more common Nazi symbol rather one that was barely used by some minor group which most likely was entirely unknown to them. Their ideology is nationalistic but does not preach wiping out any group. Golinkin is coming from a place of enormous prejudice to Ukrainian nationalism. He most likely learned to look askance at Ukrainians and considered himself a Soviet with Ukrainian identity coming only very recently. This whole video is worthless misinformation serving solely to propagate hatred and bias.
@@sviat9729 Thanks for correcting some details. However you are too kind.
"latent Ukrainophobe streak in her that was likely adopted from the extreme left milieu"
1. It's not latent.
2. It's not left, Ukraine is a democratic country under attack.
3. In the land where the proud boys are openly working to take over the government, which I have seen NO comment from her on.
4. This is a sleeper channel. Every upload even mentioning Ukraine comes laden with Kremlin propaganda.
My issue with all of this is the elites are okay with all of this as well as regular American and European citizens !!!
I found out about this a long time ago. When my friend told me Alex Jones was talking about this when the war started. And how people saying that is a conspiracy. I’ve noticed under the Joe Biden administration. A lot of conspiracies became true.
It is crazy how a lot of people are okay with this. l’m like these are the people who wanted to destroy Europe.
I’m not ok with it I’m hoping Russia will wrap this up , and the US pulls out of nato and takes care of all our domestic problems .
I'm ok with this. Soviets should have lost ww2. better now than never
@@vulturu.x4329 the soviets were the only reason the Germans didn’t win
Thank you for this reporting; deeply problematic! I'm too old to start fighting the Nazis again, but ~
You're never too old to fight them even if not physically.
Right
Thank you
Unfortunately, this time, they are forcing us to support the Nazis!
If the Nazis were a great treat in Ukraine they would have received more than 2% of the vote in the last election...as they have in other nations. Indeed, while pushing Putin's talking points, they should look at Russian neo Nazis...not to mention Putin's polices.
Wow, you guys are only around a year behind Jimmy Dore and Aaron Mate. 👍
The sooner the US gets what it deserves, the better for mankind...
“The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.”
The reason why these fake ""Nazis"" are being promoted by Israel-owned media all over the West is because they were never real ""Nazis"" to begin with.
Those fake-Ukrainian ""Nazis"" are led and owned and manned by Israelis.
They walk around acting like the Stalinist thugs they are.
Stirring up hatred where once there was peace.
That is why the real National Socialists, the so-called ""nazis"" of Western Europe want NOTHING to do with those fake Ukrainian ""Nazis"'
The public are thick as bar soap for not seeing through the media's double and triple scam!
Amy Goodman, apparently, lacks the cognitive skills to see through this either.
Or, does she know and is playing along with her secret handlers/informants?
What do YOU think?
Yes and that's what they are doing these men are mostly feds. Tricking dafties who have no fallowing to come with them it makes their arranged group look authentic. You always need a few folks from the street. Jesus the proud boys have been shown to be made up by the feds. Americans wake up your democratic gov has turned against you. They are the ones full of white supremacy. They use antisemitism racism patriotism all to demonize their own people why because NWO folks wakey wakey. Everyone will be labeled and sent to FEMA camps. Not just the few they are setting up just now with their feds fake white supremacy. Imo these guys are all feds have big money behind them and they have the cover of the gov feds.
C!A guide to everything.

The Truth Is AntiSemetic
He says "ilegal war". I din't know that there are legal wars. Probably he wants to mean that US non-provoked (or US provoked) invasions are always legal.
Very simple Russia doesn't believe Ukraine is a real country and hates the idea of them joining the EU. US has been neglecting Ukraine. What did they do when Russia annexed Crimea? Nothing.
The reporting I’ve read doesn’t white wash the Azov Battalion. This seems like an odd take.
That's what I was thinking. There's a tendency lately for people to think they are getting access to rare knowledge of which the casual citizen is unaware.
For all the people who ate the anti-Russian propoganda for the last decade, you all KNOW that the media has been whitewashing it from the beginning.
Don't act like you are just finding this out.
They are running with their agenda and twisting reality
@@Kleicomolo It's not knowledge. It's Russian proapganda. Nazis are completely marginalized in Ukraine. They have zero power. On the other hand, in Russia Nazis have ties directly to Putin himself.
It's propaganda
something in the climate must be changing if Democracy Now is finally admitting the glaringly obvious which they've glossed over for so long that I just stopped even watching.
Democracy Now! likes to run one or two truthful pieces, before reverting back to their corporate-approved talking points. It helps throw people off the scent.
@@gfys756 Sadly you may be right. I used to be an ardent supporter with funding and t-shirts ....going to their events. Now I rarely watch them.
Its still biased, she is trying not to be...😅. The azov and ukro-nazis have nothing to do with Russia.
And Wagner was named after some mercinary whose nickname was Wagner.
Well, Folkswagen was a directly Hitler's founded car company, Wagner was not the composer only for Hitler...
Biased report as always
Ukraine to this day has not denounced its nazi history , group , and further future teachings of it period the Germans had to do the same thing for them to move as war war 2 period the uperiod the Ukrainians have not had to make that saying move forward but yet they are being considered for nato
I know some Ukranian refugees and one of them whem we talked politics and mentioned discrimination, had no idea who Jews were. Talk about erasure of history.
Fukraine helped Nazis invade Poland during WW2
Ukraine has been a defacto member of Ukraine since 1949 thanks to the CIA.
they actively celebrate their fascist history.
@@intellectualrebel5340 Ukrainians know about jews. Babin yar happened in Ukraine. The monument to the babin Yar Russia struck with an Iskander Missile at the beginnging of the war. Idk where you pulled that out and to which Ukrainians you talked. Probably very far eastern Ethnic russian-Ukrainians. To Russia Nazism is not the holocaust its the 1941 Invasion
Canadian parliament:
-This old man killed russians in 1940-th and even now supports killing russian civilians in Donbass since 2014.

-But he killed also our civilian people!!!
-Sorry
For me, this isn´t really News. But what most People need to understand, is that in a Time of War Nationalists are always the first who are willing to defend their Nation. This Country was in shock in 2014 and needed Volunteers to hold the Front. The most motivated were extremists. Are you surprised? -I am not. I served 11,5 Years in the German Army and even in Peacetime, Armys are attractive for Neo-Nazis. The Challenge is to get rid of those people or educate them. Societies all around the World have and will continue to have Neo-Nazis around. The Influence they have is of concern.
Neos are not the biggest problem. They are patriots. Worse are leftist radicals and Islamists. In Germany with nearly no Muslims in the army there are many islamists and red radicals too. I prefer NS even though I don't share certain values. They are no threat to Europeans.
It went much further than having some random extremists hanging around in armed forces in Ukraine. It has become mainstream Ukrainian culture, the Svoboda party ARE Nazi and were the victors of the 2013 Coup, paid for by the US Obama administration and orchestrated by George Soros' manipulation of the Maidan Riots. The Ukraine has enacted NAZI policy towards the Donbass, persecuting ethnic Russian Ukrainians there for over 8yrs. Where were you while that was going on?
Needed volunteers to hold the front in 2014? Neo-nazis created that front when came to eastern Ukraine to punish people, who were against self proclaimed government (2 May Odessa, 9 May Mariupol). And mostly people were against it because of neo-nazis, who led the coup. Most common maidan slogans were "slava Ukraine - geroyam slava", which is OUN/UPA copy of "heil hitler - sieg heil", and "moskalaku na gilyaku", which means "Russians on knifes". Of course people in eastern Ukraine didn't like it.
In 2015 and 2018 Ukraine purged members of the army and national guard of extremist views.
@@TheLustmord88sure just ignore the fact that of the organizations mentioned they are ALL majority from Kharkiv and Donetsk.

To Russia
I thought Putin was bluffing about denazifying Ukraine😮😮
In 2014, when the Euromaidan happened, the far-right from the Right Sector had the greatest impact in a violent clash. However, in the 2014 and 2019 parliamentary elections, they failed to pass the minimum vote barrier.
After the annexation of Crimea and at the beginning of the war in Donbas, the ultra-right and radical antifa in Ukraine stopped arguing, because they considered Russia to be a bigger threat.
Loyalty to the ultra-right is a consequence of Russian policy and their power resource. But this does not mean that they have political power.
there is no radical antia or any left wing groups left in Ukraine. they were all wiped out starting in 2014. you either sit at home quetly or you get killed. most left wingers I know were forced to leave Ukraine. Far right groups didn't get into the congress, but they weren't meant for it anyway. They organized, trained, and sponsored for violence. The government will use them for as long as they need to.
Good comment.
What difference does vote totals make in regards to political power? Yanukovich was democratically elected by the majority of Ukraine voters, even reaching support in the 75% range in the Eastern half of the country, and the US and UK chased him out of the country using Right Sector, Azov, and Banderists among others in one of their long list of orchestrated or assisted coups. Now they have a propped up puppet actor insuring the destruction of their country while he tours the world begging for money like a Sally Struthers 1980's late night infomercial (while his wife shops in every high end store), who is doomed to lose, and he'll be safely tucked away in his mansion in Israel 5 years from now while most Ukrainians and their entire country are destroyed. Zelensky might even be convicted of war crimes by future Ukrainian courts, but Israel will protect him just like they did for Solomon Morell.
If the "Azov" regiment was "neo-Nazi", why Putin's regime let its commanders be exchanged? Putin didn't believe his own propaganda, it seems.🤣🤣

Finally. DM is actually speaking on the “unspoken”. Keep it up, and I might start listening, commenting and sharing
This is hardly good. They won't mention it again. They have known about violent nazis who hate Americans, Russians and Europeans since 1991.
Same here 👍👍👍
Anyone who thinks the war will increase the influence and power of neonazis in Ukraine has an extremely short memory. The same claims were made in 2014 under the same Russian interpretation of events that were the pretext to the current war. What actually happened was those groups were marginalized, in hopes of continuing support from Europe. When the current war ends with EU and Nato membership even closer it's baffling to think the result would be different this time.
👍logical
Who cares about NATO? Those panties were so terrified of Russia, that they left Ukraine fight alone for survival.
"Azov" regiment branded "neo-Nazi" is a diversion.
If the "Azov" regiment was "neo-Nazi", why Putin's regime let its commanders be exchanged? Putin didn't believe his own propaganda, it seems.🤣🤣
They were marginalised by forming them into units in the Ukrainian armed forces?
GTFO child
@stephen4121 Maybe diluted would be a better description. They were folded into the regular army. Neo nazis have very little power or influence in Ukraine. They can't get elected. The US has way more fascists (Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, KKK, Atomwaffen, etc.) than Ukraine. Russia is invading a democratic country (just like Hitler did), trying to erase its heritage, executing civilians, stealing children, forcing Russian passports on civilians, burning Ukrainian textbooks and history books, looting their museums, on and on. Sounds pretty Hitleresque or Stalinesque to me. I think you are missing the real fascists in this situation.
Now we are hearing the truth
You're definitely not hearing it here, Mr. Gutierrez.
You hear part of the truth that is beneficial to the United States. Why don't these people say that the United States sponsored and supplied weapons to Al-Qaeda during the war between Afghanistan and the USSR, but in fact created Al-Qaeda. The US also spent $5,000,000,000 on a coup in Ukraine (Nuland's recognition) and now, just like in Afghanistan, they supply weapons and train Azov militants.
